Repertoires vary with class relations, issue type, and gathering occasion across settings

Evidence

Prevailing forms of action likewise vary by the social class of the actors (burghers dealing with nobles act differently than do peasants dealing with burghers), the contentious issues at hand (disciplining a fellow worker differs from seeking royal favors), and the immediate occasion for gathering (festival, election, meeting of legislative assembly, and the like). … The arrays of actions obviously bear a coherent relationship to the social organization and routine politics of their settings. They therefore vary significantly from one setting to another. The word “repertoire” points to that variation. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 314

Categorization

• DEFINE: Here Tilly formally introduces and grounds the ‘repertoire’ concept as the systematic variation in contention forms by setting.
• XREF: Tilly’s claim that contention forms vary by the social class of actors relative to each other connects to the reader’s hypothesis about whether dominant groups can legitimately claim ‘rights defense’ while subordinates cannot — class position shapes repertoire options. — connects to: Repertoire type shapes how revolutionary processes unfold even though neither type is inherently revolutionary — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 981; Repertoires are toolkits whose efficacy depends on match with tasks and users — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 350; Repertoire clustering stems from daily organization, contention history, and regime operations — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 270 (+4 more)
